About

Wildlife Photographer of the Year is the Natural History Museum's annual competition and exhibition highlighting the unique and beautiful relationship between photography, science and art. This is one of the only opportunities to see the renowned exhibition outside of London.

A forest rodeo, a hidden stargazer and a mason bee at work are just a few of the awe-inspiring images featured in the fifty-ninth competition. All winning photos will be on display at Nature in Art, from February to April 2024.

This year's competition attracted an astounding 49,957 entries from photographers of all ages and experience levels from 95 countries. During an intense week at the Museum, entries were judged anonymously on their creativity, originality, and technical excellence by an international panel of industry experts.

Dr Doug Gurr, Director of the Natural History Museum sums up the importance of the exhibition: 'We are facing urgent biodiversity and climate crises, and photography is a powerful catalyst for change. The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition reveals some of nature's most wondrous sights whilst offering hope and achievable actions visitors can take to help protect the natural world.'

Entry to the exhibition is included in the entrance price to Nature in Art. Please see our website for more details.
